Today was an outstanding day for the team. Not only did the weather cooperate, but we started the day at the Serious Coffee in Campbell River with amazing coffee and treats to get everyone in a good mood. That was followed by a great lunch and amazing $2500 donation from the Oyster River Volunteer Fire Department, and finished off at the 888 Komox Wing of the Air Force Association where we were treated to a burgers and beer and more generous donations. We’re now nearing the $110,000 mark in our fundraising!
